TEACHING FELLOW POLICY MANUAL

1. INTRODUCTION

This policy manual applies to all Department of Mathematics graduate students who are financially supported by the department. Some policies, in particular the Qualifying Examination Policy, apply to all mathematics graduate students.

The policies in this manual supplement the official University of North Texas policies regarding graduate students and Teaching Fellows found in the UNT Graduate Catalog, the UNT Policy Manual and the UNT Handbook for Teaching Fellows and Teaching Assistants. Policies in any of these documents supercede any policy implemented by the Department of Mathematics.

Some common University of North Texas abbrevations are used in this manual. Here is a list.

• UNT is the University of North Texas, the leading university in the Dallas/Fort Worth region and a doctoral/research university ranked in the top 4 percent of U.S. colleges and universities classified by the Carnegie Foundation!
• GAB is the General Academic Building, home of the Math Department.
• CAS is the College of Arts and Sciences, the college within the university of which the Math Department is a part.
• CASCSS is the College of Arts and Sciences Computer Support Services.
• ISB is the Information Sciences Building, next to the GAB and home to the science library, which includes math books, and the UNT Computing Center.
• ESSC is the Eagle Student Services Center, next to the University Union and home of the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies (the graduate school) and the Office of the Registrar.
• TF, TA, and GA stand for Teaching Fellow, Teaching Assistant, and Graduate Assistant, respectively, all of whom should be familiar with the contents of this Policy Manual.
• EUID stands for Enterprise-Wide User-ID, a completely unique electronic identity for each individual affiliated with the University of North Texas. For students, it is normally the same as their Eaglemail login name.
• ODA is the Office of Disability Accommodation, the office for students with disabilities.
